The Authors' Hangout National Nude Day Support Thread

[SIZE=+2]ScouriesWorld[/SIZE] believes that an author should be allowed only one entry in each of LITEROTICA’S Special Contests.

scouries Response to Laurel #5

QUOTE Laurel As for the other point - I've yet to hear a solid argument in favor of limiting how many entries an author can submit to a contest…If someone has a rational reason why entries should be limited, please explain either via PM (as I may not make it this way any time soon) or on another thread so that the Nude Day contest folks can go back to discussing the upcoming contest.


But getting back to the question at hand – Multiple Entries: When we last visited this question dear lady you must have heard a solid argument for limiting the number of entries because you did change the rules. You disallowed multiple chapter stories when the SURVIVALISTS of those days (primarily freddie and the princess I believe) entered 10-15 entries each in a string of contests. You were inundated with complaints from a broad range of authors – it was almost universally agreed that the SURVIVALISTS were ruining the Special Contests.

You, and we the author community of LITEROTICA, had hoped that the change in rules would solve the problem. That outlawing “multi-chaptered stories” would be the answer. It was – for about a year or so. Now it’s starting again.

Personally I believe that contests are hurt when one author enters 10+ plus stories in every contest as andtheend is doing this year (if she keeps up her pace she may submit 100+ stories in the special contests this year). And if other authors follow her lead we’ll be right back to where we started from.

I believe that each author should only be allowed one shot at each contest. And no ma’am this is not a revolutionary thought – a huge proportion of all contests (sports, academic, literary, etc., etc.) limit the number of entries in one way or another. It, in fact, is the norm.

I'm not sure if you're picking on me or if you're like this to everyone. I'm sorry that my submitting so many contest stories bothers you, but writing is my release. Truly, I don't expect to win. The contest topics inspire me.

I even read that you think I'm BFW. I'm not. He's been one of the few who has written kind things about me and about my stories.

I don't know why I joined the Survivor Contest, but I did. I don't write enough stories to win that either. I just find writing relaxing after a long, frustrating day.

My son is autistic and the care that I give him is 24/7. It's not easy, but I'm not complaining. What are the alternatives? I'm the one who brought him in the world and as soon as my husband realized that there was something not right with his son, he left us. My son has been better with the right medication and special instruction. Still, he's a handful.

I've yet to meet a man willing to take on my son and I, but that's okay. This is our cross to bear and we'll be fine, thank you very much.

I don't know why I'm writing all this, but I feel that I must defend myself to you. I guess I'm hoping, if you know my background, you'll give me some space. You're a mean man to write what you've written about me in this post and in other posts, when you don't even know me and I've never bothered you.

Yet, if the consensus is that I shouldn't post so many stories in the contest, I won't. I don't want to cause any trouble.

Gives and a great big hug.

Wonders what the heck difference it makes if you submit one story or a dozen?

Personally I say... and... go for it!

 

[sr71plt]

Think there are an awful lot of alts taking to himself around here.

Hmm. Maybe not.

 

[littleblackdress50]

Is totally insulted that anyone could think I'm an alt.

Hmm. Maybe not.

Butt then again, maybe so.

No I’ve never believed you’re freddie . I think it was someone else who suggested it. Your writing style and freddies are completely different.

Thanks for your decision to enter only one story in the upcoming NUDE DAY CONTEST. I, and I believe most contestants, truly appreciate it.You're a good woman !

And remember, this decision in no way limits the number of stories you can enter in the normal manner. Instead it just helps unclog the contest page.

And let me wish you good luck in the SURVIVOR contest.

Would like to extend an invitation to the author known as

[size=+3]ManyFeathers[/size]

To participate in the forthcoming

[size=+2]2010 NUDE DAY CONTEST.[/size]

It is our belief that if the Special Contests are going to return to their former glory that the LITEROTICA GREATS like Mr Feathers have to become involved again.

You're very welcome.

Yes, I shall enter one story...at a time.

Thank you.

The theravenfox!!!!

What a delight to see you in AHland and SFworld. Welcome fair maiden.

And I would just like to take this opportunity to invite you, LITEROTICA’S most audible writer, to compete in the upcoming

[size=+2]2010 NUDE DAY CONTEST[/size]

I believe it’s important that we bring the Special Contests back to their previous prominence and the only way we can do this (imho) is to encourage the greats to participate. Which you undoubtedly are.

Your presence in the forthcoming contest would be doubly beneficial. First, I can’t remember the last time an Audio Story was entered in a contest – hence you’ll attract a whole new audience to it. Second, having the writer most nominated for LITEROTICA AUTHOR OF THE YEAR 2009 will expose you and your work to the voters in that upcoming election.

Please my dear, I ask you to seriously consider adding your name to the entrants list.​

[YoursSINSerely]

Is this contest going to be By Invitation Only? Can I still submit to you?

 

[scouries]

everyone's invited!!!! ONCE!

LITEROTICA’S FAVORITE AUTHOR LIST

[size=+3]10.Elianna (1497)[/size]

http://forum.literotica.com/image.php?u=944417&dateline=1208477279

Does anyone out there in AHland know this girl? I sorta know her from various posts but I don’t really know her if you know what I mean (I just looked and I’m not one of her favorites).

She generally writes for the nonhuman audience.

And she’s famous! She’s a TOP 10 All-Time FAVORITE (nipping at my heels in fact). A member of the 100+ COMMENT Club and an owner of a W.

We need people like her in the contest.

Desperately.

So if anyone knows this babe could you please send her an email or a PM, or phone her or something, and try and convince her to enter a story in the upcoming

[size=+2]2010 NUDE DAY CONTEST[/size]​

Thanks,

Just get people naked in your story.

That is enough justification to enter the National Nude Day Contest 2010.

Of course, since it is National Nude Day, we non-Americans have a small problem. For most of the rest of the world, the US's National Nude Day is a non-event. It is usually held on France's Bastille Day. I tried that in a previous year's entry, having Americans naked in France on Bastille Day.

My story sank like a lead balloon.

That's not surprising. I'm the Authors' Hangout Last Place (tm) Contest expert.

If I enter, it's only because I found a way to use my new favorite word correctly. The word is "punter."

From what I gather, National Nude Day ain't actually an official day. It's never been sanctioned. Rather it was stolen from the Kiwis at some point and time back in the 70's. So, maybe the way to go, for those needing a fresh plot bunny, is getting arrested and molested for actually thinking Nude Day was official.

Just kidding! Is it really the moonman? Resurrected from the wilds of Alberta? Welcome back.

Seriously! When I saw your name pop up again recently I realized I’d forgiven you for your past sins.

And so I’m quite happy to offer you an invitation into the upcoming

[size=+2]2010 NUDE DAY CONTEST[/size]

With one proviso – you have to turn on the voting on your contest entry. I must say I wasn’t impressed when you turned off the voting in the last contest you entered.

For those of you who don’t know the moonman he was once upon a time one of the biggest selling authors on LITEROTICA. A true GIANT!​

Good luck,

Og, you are a writer among writers. Your work has delighted me over the years. Your fifty word stories are absolute wonders. And not to mention the owner of the niftiest chapeau in the place!

This girl used to hang around AHland (no, I don’t know her) but seems to be maintaining a lower profile these days. A W winner in the past.

Another of the nonhuman writers she’s proven herself “leader of the pack”.

We need people like her in the contest. But can she write a stand alone contest story? That’s the big question. I believe it’s time she paid back the readers who’ve supported her through thick and thin. They'd love to see a story from her in the contest.

So if anyone knows this young (relatively) lady could you please send her an email or a PM, or phone her or something, and try and convince her to enter a story in the upcoming

I don't recall there being a rule that categorically states that I have to have the voting turned on. Obviously, with the voting off I can't win. But, I don't want to win. If and that's a big if, I do enter, it will simply be to show my support for the site.

There are two uses for this word as far as I know.
What are your definitions ?

 

[D_K_Moon]

My impression was of a person who was rather tight with their money.

"Them bleedin' punters wanted the Rolls for the price of a clapped out Rover."

ETA: I think English in England is so much more colorful than the English used in North America.

 

[oggbashan]

I think it might refer to this rugby song:

Punting about on the River.

I'm a fun loving boy, and I always enjoy,
Just pissing about on the river,

Watching the stunts of the cunts in the punts,
Who're pissing about on the river,

Cheering the eights as they finish the course,
They loosen their rollocks, and lay on their oars,

The victorious eight is awarded a plate,
For pissing about on the river.

The girls wait to welcome the crews at the locks,
They all love a stroke, now they're kissing the Cox.

I row to the bank, and have a quick wank,
While pissing about on the river.

No.
Punter:
1] A person who places a bet (punt) with a bookmaker at the racecourse.
2] A 'customer'. This could be (often is) a disparaging definition (the clients of a prostitute, for example).

Your quoted sentence would not be used like that over here in that way..

Car trader: "Bleedin' punters; they only wanted the Roller for the price of a clapped-out Rover, din' they?"

Notice that the use of 'punters' is defined.

One policeman to another: "You know that tom that's often on the corner of the high street?. Well that bloke there is one of her punters"

[ 'tom' in this case is a prostitute ]

The word is also used to describe (somewhat disparagingly) a member of an audience (as in "a customer").
